	Wernigerode.... Tip Rating:

Steam train...

by Colzy

I have visited Wernigerode quite a few times now and all have been amazingly enjoyable expriences. Wernigerode is situated in the Eastern part of the Harz mountains and is the northern terminus of the narrow guage railway which is such a treat. Taking the steam train to Mt Brocken (the highest peak in Northern Germany) is such a unique experience that can be enjoyed year round and the change in scenery between the two is truly remarkable.

Wernigerode is also a quaint town where you can enjoy the half-timbered housing and it's wonderful castle which houses an interesting medieval museum. It is a town that is easily accessible and a joy to walk around as it is not so big.

	The Mangturm in Lindau Tip Rating:

Mangturm, Lindau

by Paul2001

The Mangturm is the most important landmark of Lindau. This fortified lighthouse was built in 1200. It was designed to protect the harbour and resembles more a watchtower than a lighthouse. What is particularly striking about the tower is the multicoloured tiling on the roof. I was mezzmerized by the various colours and seemed to have taken a dozen pictures of them. For one Euro you can climb to the roof of the tower and take in the view. The hours of admission vary greatly throughout the year.

The Main River near
Aschaffenburg

by Nemorino

Here is a typical scene on the Main River, a short ways upstream from Aschaffenburg.

The cycling trails along the Main River have been very much upgraded in recent years. They are now mostly paved, well signposted and generally free of automobile traffic.

The Old Stone Bride with
the Dom of St. Peter's

by Paul2001

The old stone bridge that crosses the Danube River at Regensburg is the bridge in Germany. It was built between 1135 and 1145 and is considered to be a masterpiece of medieval architecture. There are 16 huge pillars that span across the length of the bridge and the rapid flowing river beneath.

Wacky

by onecut

We had gone here to see the pony and trap training ground but as no one was training we had a look around and came across these two " people " made from grass, weird or what??? All around were some kind of bunkers but were all being developed into bungalows, they looked nice but they were all exactly the same even down to the furniture inside. I think it will be called Clone City

Crossing the Rhine

by ettenaj

You can cross the Rhine at many different bridges, this one was near to Kevelaer. Quite breath taking when you got to the crest of the bridge. We travelled both ways across this particular bridge.

	Future site of the European Central Bank Tip Rating:

Future site of the European
Central Bank

by Nemorino

This is the former Großmarkthalle (wholesale produce market) on the site of the future headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB).

They are planning a large complex of buildings, including three skyscrapers. The main market building, a huge historic building from the year 1928, will be preserved, renovated and incorporated into the new complex. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2005, and the bank plans to move in to the new complex in 2009.

The ECB is now operating from rented offices in several buildings in downtown Frankfurt, particularly the Eurotower on Willy-Brandt-Platz, opposite the Frankfurt Opera.
